Paige VanZant's driving force to compete despite flourishing career in OnlyFa*s

While Paige VanZanyt's financial success in content creation may have provided her with more than enough financial security, her competitive spirit still drives her to continue her journey in combat sports.

In a previous interview with MMA Fighting, VanZant candidly discussed her flourishing career on OnlyFa*s, acknowledging the huge financial rewards it has brought her. However, she emphasized that her newfound success has not extinguished her unwavering passion for competitive fighting. She stated [ht/ MMA Fighting]:

"Theoretically I could [retire]. I don’t have to fight another day in my life. It’s an athlete thing and some people wouldn’t understand it. If you ask LeBron James why do you still play basketball? You don’t need to. Why do all these NBA players, NFL players get to a point in their career like Tom Brady — he doesn’t need to play football anymore, but why does he? Because he’s the greatest of all time, because he wants to continue to compete. It’s what he does. It’s in his blood."

Paige VanZant also said:

“I don’t compare myself to those people and their greatness, but definitely to their drive to want to continue to be successful. I feel like that’s a part of me as well.”
